Last year I saw this great tutorial on how to make candy cane hearts for Valentine's Day. I was so excited about it and thought it would be a quick and easy thing for my kids to make and take to school. Well, I waited just a bit too long and when I went to the stores to look for the candy canes I came up with nothing, nada, zilch. I was bummed. They were completely sold out and there wasn't a candy cane to be found.
Well, this year I remembered to grab a few boxes of mini candy canes found in the clearance aisle for 60 cents during my after Christmas sale shopping trip. I made a bunch of these this morning and was pleased with how easy (and super fast) they came together. I thought I would post about it today in case you too want to make some for Valentine's Day. This way you can all take advantage of the holiday clearance candy canes while they are still in the stores and save them until you are ready to make them. Don't wait too long or they may not be around in February. Trust me, I speak from experience.

What a great idea. I'll have to watch the tutorial....
I like to get clearance M&M's or any red and green candies...then separate them- red for Valentine's Day and green for St.Patties.
Not as creative as you, but if your shopping for clearance candy why not...
now that's the stuff! Love it...
I love this little hint. What a great way to use up all those little candy canes... Thanks...
While I was taking down my tree today I kept coming across cherry candy canes and decided to make some of these tonight for Valentines day... too funny!
I made them last year for a candy party and everyone went crazy for them!
Valentine's day is my favorite holiday so I was so happy to see this post! Thank you for the tutorial. I'll be on the look out for some mini candy canes on clearance! Thanks.

Thanks so much for the reminder...I had the same problem last year and now I have a fighting chance to pick a few up!
Delicious and darn cute! Fabulous idea :)
Super cute! Thanks for sharing.
So cute! Thanks for a great idea!
This are so sweet! I love them and I just called my hubby and asked him to bring home some mini candy canes. He manages a CVS and all Christmas is 75% off right now! Thanks for the timely tip!
very cute..my last 2 posts are about candy canes...if you have some left over and don't know what to do with them, hop on over to Pandora's Box for some ideas
Will be heading over to pick some of these up tomorrow. Great idea. Sounds like too much fun.
What a cute idea. Thanks for sharing! Will be heading to the store tomorrow in search of candy canes!
I LOVE this idea! I have a million candy canes left over at school that the kids didn't eat. I can't wait to put these together. Thanks for sharing!
What a fun and super cute idea! I love it!
I knew there was a reason I bought extra candy canes last week even though Christmas is over, thanks!!
so, so cute! filed this one away at thecraftersfilebox.com.
thanks so much for the find!! :)
Cute idea!
This is so adorable, I love it!!!
Love this idea - I'd better go hunt down some candycanes!!!
These are darling! I don't know that I will be as successful at "creating" as you were, but I am going to run out to the store and see if I can't pick up some candy canes on the cheap!
Thanks for posting.
bought mine at target the other day. remembered making them last year and they ARE super simple and cute! I may add a little carboard reinforcer with a love quote on it as they are super FRAGILE!
I love this idea! I keep up using my reader and had seen this, but for some reason didn't notice the tutorial link. oops!
Well, I managed to find some mini candy canes by accident at Walgreen's one evening for $.39 per box of 40. I grabbed 4 boxes :)
I had the idea in my head but couldn't remember where I'd seen it at. Since I couldn't find it, I just used chocolate to bring it all together. It worked out really well and then just a day or two after making them, I found the spot and the tutorial. lol
Thanks for the wonderful idea!
